BW/Rtg: NR Scared Stiff (1953)Bob Hope's fright-comedy The Ghost Breakers was retooled to fit the talents of Martin and Lewis, and the result was one of Dean and Jerry's funniest films. When he wrongly thinks he's killed a mobster, a nightclub singer (Martin) and his friend (Lewis) hide out in a haunted castle that becomes the setting for some spooky goings-on, not the least of which is Jerry's impersonation of co-star Carmen Miranda!
